  1. I've though long and hard about this. To say I'm nervous about this game is an understatement. I know it's only football but this seems bigger than that. The history between the teams, David chasing Goliath, changing of the guard, coach vs coach, Allen vs Mahomes, and the home crowd Bills Mafia. It doesn't get any better than this. 

     

    I can't fathom a Bills loss. I just can't allow my brain to go there. Call me crazy, dumb, a troll, or a homer. 

     

    Bills 23

    KC 20

    Probably yes, considering all of these injuries seem short term.  And that also assumes nobody else gets hurt against KC.  

     

    Bills now know they can beat KC.  They are 2-0 vs. KC since "13 seconds".  They match up much better against KC than Cincinnati.   Now, they need to do it when it matters most, in the playoffs.  I can't even accept the idea of Bills losing to KC again.  I hope the players feel the same way.  It simply CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.   For 3 of your last 4 seasons to end at the hands of KC???  It can't happen.   I want ALLEN to be the one going up to Mahomes after the game saying "Amazing game bro.  We are gonna keep on doing this for years!"    or whatever BS Mahomes said to Allen after 13 seconds,  and I want to see if Mahomes will show the same sportsmanship that Allen did, in that moment   (bet he doesn't!)

    I can feel your energy through the screen! I share your sentiments 100%.

    Mahomes acted like a B word full stop 🛑. He’s in a tough spot tomorrow if Taron & TB play. Be objective 

    I am objective. He's in a tough spot regardless if they play. The Bills home crowd will make it difficult for him. The McD defense is formidable and the next man up has certainly been up to their tasks. I expect the lesser know players to continue to contribute. Lastly, Mahomes doesn't have a lot of great weapons and has vulnerable tackles. 

     

    Hopefully, the Bills come out with the win.

    Football is crazy high variance…a single game head to head really doesn’t mean much of anything as far as where franchises are at overall.  Don’t think there will be much demoralization either way honestly. The niners have been to what, 3 out of the last 4 nfc championships and won 0 of those superbowls? Do their fans seem demoralized? John harbaugh has been bounced from the playoffs early for a decade.  Just gotta keep gettin into the playoffs to give yourselves a chance. 
     

    I do think you’re underselling the mahomes meltdown a bit though to change gears for a minute, I don’t think I’ve seen a player do that in history. Had to be held back while screaming at refs for a perfectly valid call then went to meet the opposing qb post game and still whining about it…real bad look.  You’re gonna hear a lot of that from every teams fans so you might as well get used to it 😂. This is not just a bills fan thing 

    I think the 49er vs the Bill comparison is not completely applicable. The Bills have landed one of the best QBs in the NFL. Meanwhile, the 49ers haven't had a franchise QB in recent memory. That's not a small factor to discount. 

     

    Demoralizing is perhaps too strong of a word. It certainly will be deflating. To be honest, this is what we've been waiting for. Get KC on our turf. KC looks as vulnerable as ever. I think we can agree to that.  

     

    As for the Mahomes incident, I could really careless. The game was over and he cried like a B. His coach cried more afterwards. His teammates cried even more afterwards. Prima donnas or perhaps feel entitled. Whatever, I don't watch football for character building, culture building, or role models. I'm an old school guy where knocking an opposing pass catcher into oblivion was the norm. The intimidation factor was real. Raider football was out right vicious, Dick Butkus would knock your head off, the purple people eaters would swallow you up, Ham and Lambert were scary foes, and Conrad Dobler would bite your fingers for fun. Shi! talking, dirty play intimidation, brutal hits, etc... were part of the game. The Mahomes incident wouldn't have even been a story. 

     

    The Mahomes incident would be seen as a puss! move back in the day. The NFL has become as soft as charmin. I get it for the safety of the players. However, the changes have forever changed a once tough, intimating, and physical game into a finesse culture building game. It's up to each fan to decide their preference.

    Oh please newcam give us a f’n break with this crap already. What’s the over under on Mahomes fake limp tomorrow? 2nd quarter? You are almost as big a Chief’s cheerleader as Filthybeast. 

     

    I’m not saying they are pushovers but they’ve never had to face adversity like we have in any capacity, let alone come back from a 6-6 record and win the Division. They’ve had a cake walk through their division for 5 years just like Brady had when the rest of the AFC East sucked. The one time the refs didn’t give them the Toney Offside call because WE ARE THE CHIEFS they had an absolute melt down so no, they don’t have character they are an entitled bunch of snobs. Both Mahomes on the sidelines and complaining to Josh and Reid in his press conference showed nothing but petulant complaining about the refs and gave the Bills ZERO credit. They were pathetic not gritty, no strength of character.

     

    So give the team you claim to root for a little credit. In the grit, perseverance and toughness department we blow the Chiefs out of the water any day and hopefully twice on Sunday.

     

     

    You site one example where the Chiefs acted inappropriately and out of character. Mahomes owned up to his inappropriate behavior. As a competitor I think the circumstances got the best of him. No excuses though and Reid was worse after the fact. I'm not here to defend the Chiefs. 

     

    However, football isn't a popularity contest, a higher character contest, or who whines and ***** more or less. Who gaves two poops about that?  It's about rings and super bowls. Do the math!!!

     

    The high road here is meaningless. The great culture builder of McD hasn't produced a Lombardi. The great toughness, grit, and strength of the Bills is recently 0-2 vs KC in the playoffs. That's the bottom line and the only narrative that counts. Tomorrow can go a long way to change the narrative.

     

    I get it stand behind your team. I do the same with the Bills. They are resilient and have made an incredible run. That run comes smashing down with another KC victory. Talk about a demoralizing loss. Equally, a Bills win will have an euphoric effect on the fan base. Sure hope to experience that feeling. 

     

    The amount of time spent on hating the Chiefs and calling into question their character and strength is ridiculous. For God's they are defending champs, have one of best coaches in the NFL, and the best QB on the planet. But hey, question their heart, strength, and character all you want. 

     

    Tomorrow, we certainly will find out where each team stands. All I know is this is the opportunity Bills fans have been looking for for years. KC in Buffalo. Put up or shut up. No excuses...

     

    Go Bills!!!!

    I hope you're right. I want to feel more confident. If I'm KC, I keep Allen contained in the pocket. Take away the deep stuff and make him check it down. That's when he gets impatient and forces things. No scrambling, no off-script improvisations, no deep passes. Blitz on occasion. Make the Bills earn every yard. 

     

    On offense, go to work on the Bills' backup/injured linebackers. Short passes, screens, slants. Then go deep when the opportunity is there.  

     

    I see a tough game and a Bills win just because they have more grit and character than the Chiefs. 

    Agree with everything except the grit and character statement. 

     

    The Chiefs won a super bowl last year with Mahomes having one good leg. Their WR core wasn't good or strong last year as well. Their defense wasn't nearly as good as it is this year. 

     

    They are the champs and assaulting their character is a hand scratcher. Reid and Spags are considered by many to be at the top of their class. I don't get the lack of character and toughness allegations.

    I'm probably too confident right now.  I'll actually be shocked if KC beats us.

     

    We're better, I think last year's Cincy debacle is still fresh on the players' minds, and we just ran through the toughest part of our schedule with every game being a must-win to get this opportunity.

     

    I don't think the game will be that close.  I see a statement game, not unlike the Pats playoff game. A "changing of the guard"-type of game.

     

    I disagree to a certain extent. Shocked if the Bills lose is just not a realistic view to take. I mean the Vegas spread is 2.5 points not 12.5 points.

     

    Football pundits are picking both teams to win and making valid arguments accordingly. 

     

    Frankly, being shocked if the Bills lose is way too strong of a statement. But, you are entitled to your feelings and opinions. 

     

    I'll be extremely disappointed if the Bills lose but not surprised or shocked if they do lose. 

     

    I know others think the game won't be close. I just don't see it that way. These teams with their players and coaches are likely not to let the game get out of hand. I think it's a very close game. 

     

    If the Bills win it will be a significant and signature win. Changing of the guard seems accurate.

    Appreciate the detailed post. But I have to call BS on one point, which is the familiar claim that Mahomes is better because he has two rings (MVPs, etc.). I would argue that any of a half a dozen quarterbacks in the league now would have done as well as Mahomes under the same circumstances: throwing to two future HOF receivers behind an elite line with (as you say) one of the best offensive minds in the game calling plays. Can you think of another quarterback who has had all these advantages who has NOT done as well? 

     

    No, having watched both, I think Allen is objectively better. As I said, he's bigger, meaning that he can and has broken far more tackles that the smaller Mahomes. He's faster and more athletic, and he has at least as strong an arm and as creative off script. And his stats (if not awards) are comparable to Mahomes'--with inferior receivers, a far inferior line, and inferior play callers. In fact, now that Mahomes no longer has all these advantages (just some of them), we're seeing that he, too, can struggle. 

     

    Put it this way: What can Mahomes do that Allen can't do just as well or better, all things being equal? Same receivers, same line, same play calling. Anything? 

    Mahomes can lead a team to a super bowl and win it all. It's really that simple. That's the new measuring fair or not.

    Here's what I'll say in response to all your points.

    -I agree Mahomes is the better overall QB because he's more consistent and doesn't make as many mistakes.  However, when Allen is on he's the best dual QB threat I've ever seen.  For a full season and career I'd take Mahomes.  For one have to have it game in the playoffs where the opposing team has the defensive edge I'll take Allen over Mahomes.  

    -The Bengals took the crowd out of it early last year so to truly get the most out of the home field advantage we have to at least keep it close all game.  The only games not at Arrowhead in Mahomes's post season career was at neutral site games (Super Bowls) and his passing rating is only 79.7 with 5 TD's and 4 INT's.  It remains to be seen if those stats were fluky or if he doesn't perform as well away from Arrowhead.  We'll see how he does in the most hostile postseason environment he's ever faced.

    I'm pretty sure Mahomes will be up to the challenge. If the Chiefs lose it unlikely it's because of Mahomes.

    I agree with this, and will add that we are weaker at CB, but they are weaker at WR. We have a better oline, and they have a better Dline, but only slightly. In order to win this game, we have to do a better job with protection, than in the first matchup.

    I'd like to think the Bills offense is better than the last time they met. Josh is playing better, Kincaid has emerged as a legit weapon. The running game is more diverse with running gap and done concepts. Shakir has become more of a concern for opposing defenses. Knox is back and even Harty looks quicker. 

     

    I think the key is the oline. Josh didn't have a lot of time last game. However,bi think Brady has made some solid changes. Allen is getting rid of the ball more quickly. Negating lots of opposing teams pass rush. He's making really good decisions getting rid of the ball quickly. When appropriate he takes his *****. A good example was the seam route TD to Kincaid. 

     

    In short, I think the Bills offense is much better, diverse, and in sync than the last meeting. I hope I'm right.

    Great matchup. About time it's not in Arrowhead. Both defensive coordinators are innovative, so that's a wash. I'd say the offensive coordinators are about even, too. And Allen and Mahomes, although I think Allen is better because of his will to win. Pachenko = Cook. Home field is an advantage, but it's more than outweighed by the injuries. Their kicking game is superior.

     

    The slightest of edges to KC, but a single holding or PI call, a blocked kick, or fumble, a big return...anything can turn the game one way or another. All things being equal, I'd give it to the Bills because Allen is a better quarterback than Mahomes. Bigger, faster, stronger, more clutch, more determined. Plus, he doesn't run like a squirrel or sound like Kermit. 

     Don't get me wrong I love Allen. He's special, elite, and can carry a team. However, to say Allen is better is very debatable. I think Mahomes is the heads down the best QB by most fans and football people. It's a stretch to say Allen is better especially since Patrick is dangling two rings while Allen is ring less. The Allen "will to win" vs Mahomes "will to win" comparison is a ridiculous statement. No offense. There is no edge on the will to win. Both are off the charts here. Did you watch Mahomes play on one leg last year? You don't win two rings because of a lack of wanting to win. 

     

    For all practical purposes Reid is the offensive coordinator and play caller. Nagy is just a fill in. Reid is probably one of the best offensive minds in the game. Huge edge over an inexperienced Brady. Enough said here. Hopefully, the youngster can match or outperform the willy veteran Chiefs coaching staff. He's done a great job thus far. The task doesn't appear to be too big. 

     

    The Chiefs secondary has a huge edge over the Bills depleted secondary. It's not even close. Have to give McD credit on how the D is performing with back ups galore. It's probably McD biggest and most impressive achievement this year. Hopefully, the success continues. 

     

    This game may come down to special teams. That's a scary thought since the Bills punter has only one good leg, an inferior replacement, and a FG kicker that's very shaky right now. Huge advantage to Chiefs. 

     

    Home field should be a huge advantage. This is where the Bills have the biggest advantage. I don't think anyone can dispute this. The Bills  generally don't lose at home but this game and opponent is a different animal. I ask everyone to look at the home playoff game vs Cinci last year. 

     

    Coaching will be huge this game. Reid has the clear advantage here. He wins big games while McD struggles in divisional playoff games and beyond. I think many Bills fans are secretly hoping McD doesn't blow it again. Sorry. However, this year feels different? Maybe that's just my homerism at work. Nevertheless, the monkey is on McD and the Bills. I believe for what it's worth the pressure is on the Bills to win. Thus far, the Bills have handled the pressure down the stretch magnificently. No one should question the toughness and resiliency of this team.  One more time please, please, and please.

     

    Bills have a great advantage at the tackles, Chiefs running defense is not good, and the Bills pass catchers are better. The Bills have to take advantage of their strengths. 

     

    All in all, this is setting up to be a classic game. A dog fight and heavyweight fight between two teams that know each other well. The Bills players and fans finally get their wish with a home game in Buffalo vs KC. We've been wanting this for years. The Bills management focused on building a team to beat KC. Is it be careful what you ask for or just what the football doctor ordered? 

     

    Let's go Buffalo!!! We fans will give it our all to help the team get the W. I would love nothing more than to see Reid's fat ass and Mahomes whining ass march out of Highmark Stadium in their underwear. We haven't forgotten pain of 13 seconds. We haven't forgotten the grim reaper remarks about Mahomes. Sunday is the time for changing of the guard. The time for the Bills to shine! My old law enforcement gun range instructor used to constantly say "nothing to it but to do it." How fitting is that tomorrow?

    You can bet that the coaches have looked at film of ALL their matchups.

    What point are you even trying to make here?

    Actually, scratch that; I don't even want to know.

    The point is the head to head match ups are important to evaluate. 

     

    A previous poster is citing how the Chiefs haven't beaten quality opponents this year.

     

    In summary, the head to head match ups are important while the claim of Chiefs losing to quality opponents is worthless. 

     

    Hope that clears things up for you sir.

    One of greatest advantages in this game is homefield.

     

    There are other advantages to like, the fact the Bills at home average 29.7 points per game and give up 15.

     

    The Chiefs on the road score 20.7 and give up 17.7.

     

    The Chiefs “greatest” defense of all-time has created 7 turnovers in 9 road/neutral site games. Wow 7!

     

    The Bills “injury” ravaged poverty defense has generated 15 turnovers.

     

    Speaking of greatest defense, the Bills have given up 9 3rd quarter points all season at home. 

     

    The Chiefs Tackles are not good.

    The Bills Tackles are good. 

     

    Mahomes completion % drops 7% in Super Bowl’s vs Arrowhead. 
     

    Travis Kelce is 34 and probably is strongly considering retiring. 
     

    Nick Bolton’s wrist is badly injured.

     

    Sneed was banged up vs Miami.

    Rashee Rice was banged up too.

    Mahomes hasn’t looked comfortable all year.

    Pacheco has been banged up recently. 
    Chris Jones is likely gone. 
     

    Give Kansas City a dose of the 12th Man and an aggressive physically dominant performance and they will collapse. Bills win, but not by the slightest of margins.  

    I like where you are going. Lots of good points here. 

     

    One likely a Chiefs fan can probably make a pretty compelling argument to why the Chiefs will win. I'm not going to do it but we all know what they would say. 

     

    I can't get on board with the Bills winning big here. Not sure what you mean by not the slightest of margins. I'd be pretty surprised if either team won by more than two scores. 

     

    I'd glady like to be wrong here and you right. A Bills blowout win would be orgasmic.

    I "would go here" because of course it matters. Suggesting otherwise is nonsensical.

     

    I'm not discounting them by any means, but the Chiefs struggled all year and performance vs. quality of opponent is important.

    Look at the head to head match up. That's obviously the best indicator not the performance vs quality of opponent. 

     

    You think McD is telling the Bills players and coaches this info? Of course not because it's senseless data that means zero come Sunday. Not sure why that's so hard to comprehend. 

     

    In the other hand, you can bet that the coaches have looked at the film of the previous match up. 

     

    You can be foolish and stand by your argument. I won't be the foolish follower.

    I keep coming back to the fact KC only beat 3 teams with a winning record, and only 1 playoff team: Miami (twice), 9-8 Jacksonville and 9-8 Cincy (w/Jake Browning at QB).

     

    It's still Mahomes, Andy Reid, etc.--- but that matters.

    It doesn't matter at all. Why would you go here when you could just look at what happened when the two teams played each other. It was literally a play or two that made the difference. They were down Pacheco and I believe Nick Bolton. If memory serves me right they were pretty banged up. 

     

    The they didn't play anyone theory is right out the window here. 

     

    Both these teams are elite with QBs that are amazing. Both coaches will have their teams ready to play. 

     

    The real advantage for the Bills is the home field. It's a huge difference than playing in Arrowhead. 

     

    I give the Bills the slightest of edge to win.

    That’s interesting every other panel I’ve seen 3/4 or 4/5 picked buffalo.  I think this is one of those situations where the bills are the better team but there’s just something about mahomes yada yada lol 

    I saw today almost everyone (Mina and crew) picked KC to win. 

     

    I think it's truly a toss up game. 

  17. 2 hours ago, longtimebillsfan said:

    The team was 6-6 due to a pathetic offensive coordinator and  significant defensive injuries.

    Partly true. They lost games they should have never lost. It was also head coaching and defense as well. 

     

    We all watched the games. McD's D was unable to stop offenses when it counted. No need to call out the games. An off sides call gifted the Broncos a win. 

     

    To alleviate McD of blame is preposterous. To boot, he gave his blessings to Dorsey. He handed him the keys. 

     

    To his credit, the team went on a big winning streak when it counted. The McD D has been able to close out games. He did change OCs. 

     

    In summary, this season is mixed bag of very good and very bad with McD. However, it's very hard to complain about an 11-6 record and a 2 seed with an AFC East title. 

     

    Thus far, McD has a nice playoff win under his belt. It's not uncommon for his team led by Allen to win. That's a lot better than Tomlin or McCarthy at this point. McD has been able to win in these exact scenarios. 

     

    The real nemesis is the next round. Often, his team gets out coached and out planned by the opposition. Bengals and KC are stand outs here. 

     

    Fast forward to Sunday. The Bills play who? KC the defending champs with the best QB in the NFL and a hall of fame coach. It's hard to not to get 13 second flashbacks. If there's ever a time for the Bills to succeed and get the monkey off it's back it's Sunday at Highmark Stadium. 

     

    A loss would be very painful and somewhat demoralizing. 

     

    A win would be euphoric and feel like maybe this is the year. 

     

    I'm very nervous yet excited about the game. 

     

    LFG Bills!!!!!!!
